Come back tomorrow

From the Secretary of State's office:

Hartford: Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz today issued the following statement regarding the status of moderator returns from the city of Bridgeport following the November 2, 2010 general election:

“At approximately 5:00 p.m., our office learned from the Registrar of Voters’ office in Bridgeport that it may take several more hours for the Head Moderator to complete the return from Election Day. By law, this document was required by law to be delivered to our office by 6:00 p.m. yesterday. As such, we do not anticipate receiving any completed return from Bridgeport this evening.

In the interest of transparency and open government, we feel it is very important that this return from Bridgeport be processed during normal business hours when any member of the public can observe the submission of this important document.

Our office has always been committed to ensuring the integrity of every election in Connecticut and this is no different, despite the close vote for Governor. Therefore, we expect that tomorrow we will receive a Head Moderator’s return from the city of Bridgeport with complete vote totals from Election Day. We will have more to say once this return is received and processed by our office.”
